Cutdown Blog: NFC South

It’s not as flashy as it’s free agency brother, but “cutday” may be the most frantic for all NFL front offices.

There isn’t another time of the year where they have to be so reactive to every move every team is making, ready to pounce on possible talents who might improve their roster or be worth developing on their practice squad.

To help you keep up to date we’re going to be providing details on all the moves in each divisional page. Keep coming back for each and every player released with stats, snaps and grades on all of them.

Ronnie Wingo, RB: Was out played by Josh Vaughan and didn’t do enough to challenge special teams contributor Antone Smith. Turned 10 carries into 42 yards and broke just one tackle.

Carolina Panthers

Jimmy Clausen, QB: The former 48th overall pick in 2010 has endured a horrid career since falling in the draft. Made a starter before he was ready, he’s witnessed the ascension of Cam Newton into one of the leagues star players and sunk to all new lows with play that was bad even by his standards in preseason. Completed a poor 56% of passes and was well worth the -4.6grade he was awarded.

Tauren Poole, RB: Had a hard time of things even if he did show an ability to make defenders miss (five tackles). His -5.5grade was the fourth lowest of all running backs in the preseason.

D.J. Campbell, DB:

Robert Lester, DB:

Anderson Russell, DB:

Drayton Florence, DB:

New Orleans Saints

Ryan Griffin, QB: The Saints will roll into the season with two quarterbacks and Griffin will hope to latch back onto a practice squad. Didn’t embarrass himself on his team leading 63 dropbacks, throwing two touchdowns and completing 54.2% of passes (despite being victimized by six drops). Saints had a long enough look at him that it would suggest they’re not done with him.

Austin Johnson, FB:

Preston Parker, WR:

Saalim Hakim, WR:

Courtney Roby, WR: The long time special teams ace offers little on offense and that was ultimately his undoing. Saw 49 in preseason but caught just the one ball. With Kenny Stills, Nick Toon and Preston Parker having fine outings this was always on the cards.
